Even worse I think it is often written Cnut these days.

No need for rebranding in the Black Country, just say it how it is.

What, no badge or cap...?

Policing situation is, methinks, much different on this side of the pond...

Well that was interesting today the 20 MPH limits in South Wales very hard to adhere too for a fair bit of driving not easy at all.

My point was, that it's a simple check to do but the hype around it helped a friend pay off his mortgage.
He wrote a simple script, put it on a floppy disc (yes!), pc boots from floppy, reads and executes script which changes time and date to 23:59 31/12/99 and waits a minute to see it roll over to 2000. Puts a sticker on PC.

Charges corporation a big bill.

If PC fails, he provided a service to supply Y2K compliant machines. Charges corporation bigger bill.

Ah, all computer issues can be solved/checked by a floppy in a PC because all computers are PCs

It's this gross simplification of things that really narks me. Rolling over the date to check whether a system fails is something that was done often, the job of identifying the root cause of any errors and fixing them was complex.

It was not hype. The issues were real.

On some older PCs at the time. Companies employed him to make the problem go away. He did it.

He now sells snakeoil.

From our parish council minutes:

"CLLR XXX – Spoke about the recent correspondence released by Hampshire County Council inviting Parish Councils to apply for a 20mph speed limit. It was noted that all expenses would be met by the Parish Council. It was noted that Hampshire Constabulary have confirmed that they do not have the officers to enable this to be enforced."

We've recently had a 20mph limit imposed near the village school and that's fair enough, but once genie is out of the bottle will it be collecting fines?
